Ted Cruz has to start "talking about what's keeping people awake at night" if he wants to win more voters, former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

"He's got to really focus in on the loss of jobs, the terrible trade deals — and the fact that middle-class people in this country can no longer afford to support their families and pay their taxes," she told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "He's got to really start talking about that to the exclusion of all the esoteric constitutional issues."
